Jess- It's just I feel like my life is normal for once and I am at peace
with the way it is going, right now its...
Luke- perfect
Jess- yeah, how did you know?
Luke- because I know that you've always craved this life for yourself
Jess- yeah, I just wish that Rory could be part of it
Luke- don't worry, we just have to keep doing what were doing
Jess- you mean, keep going to school and in the end graduate and maybe send
more letters to her
Luke- exactly, who knows maybe if you invite her to your graduation then
you'll end up getting back together with her.
Jess- so your supporting Rory and I
Luke- yes, I am because I know you'll never hurt her
Jess- but I did twice already
Luke- three times (Jess gives him an evil glare) but who's counting?
Anyways you may of hurt her but it is the kind of hurt that can be
repaired, with being honest and taking it one day at a time
Jess- I am doing just that
Luke- yes, you are
Luke and Jess begin to eat once again, and Jess goes to get Luke another
beer and he grabs himself water
Luke- so how are those two girls
Jess- oh god, they won't give up I keep telling them I am not interested
and they just continue to pursue me
Luke- what did I tell you, you have the Danes Charm they are not going to
give up till they get what they want!
Jess- yeah, that's me in the middle and them on the sides
Luke- did I really need to hear that?
Jess- I am sorry but its true and you know it
Luke- did you tell them you have a girlfriend?
Jess- no, only because I don't
Luke- but do they know that?
Jess- no
Luke- so... tell them you have a girlfriend
Jess- but I wouldn't feel right doing that, because I don't think Rory
would like that
Luke- do you want me to ask her, if you have permission to do that?
Jess- yes but not in the way of "Jess wants to know if he can say you're
his girlfriend is that okay?" don't be obvious
Luke- I wont
Luke gets up and walks over to the kitchen to pick up the cordless phone;
he sits at the table and dials Rory's number
Rory- hello
Luke- Rory hi its Luke
Rory- hi Luke, how are you?
Luke- I am great, how are you?
Rory- I am good I am tired of studying
Luke- don't study too hard
Rory- I am not I just have a lot of things to study for
Luke- ah, I see
Rory- I got my marks back
Luke- yeah, how did you do
Rory- I have 92 in English, and I have 85 in Psychology, and I have 90 in
Literature, and In Business I have 82
Luke- those are excellent marks Rory...keep up the good work
Rory- thanks I will
Luke- So I have a reason for my call
Rory- Jess
Luke- Yes Jess (Luke looks at his nephew and he has a smile on his face)
Rory- did he call you, visit, write a letter...what?
Luke- well he called me, and he told me that he wants to start going to
school and I' am helping him with that.
Rory- really! That is so cool, I am so happy for him and that's so nice of
you.
Luke- I am as happy as you are (Jess's smile gets bigger) and he told me
that he is taking Business, PE, English, History, French, Writer's Craft,
Management Of Personal Resources, and Food Preparation.
Rory- Wow, he has a busy year and I know he is going to do great
Luke- I agree, he also told me about some friends of his
Rory- really, so the rebel without a cause has decided to make nice with
the people
Luke- yes he has, but he asked me for some advice
Rory- really? For what
Luke- well there are these two girls who will not stuff flirting with him,
and he's told them that he isn't interested but they wont back off...what
should he do?
- Rory's Thoughts -
Jess has girls chasing after him and he isn't even interested, that is so
cool because this helps in proving that what he says in his letters are
loyal and that he isn't trying to make up all this stuff, what should I
tell Luke so he could tell Jess...wait...I have an idea.
Luke- Rory are you still there?
Rory- huh! Sorry Luke, I was just thinking of what I could suggest
Luke- well did you get any idea's?
Rory- well I know from past experience with the Chilton people that girls
back off, if you have a girlfriend
Luke- I was thinking that same thing but Jess doesn't have a girlfriend
Rory- well, if you wanted to you could tell him that I could be known as
the girlfriend
Luke- you would do that?
Rory- yeah, because I still love him and I never officially broke up with
him
Luke- well, I make sure to tell him that
Rory- okay, tell mom I'll call her later
Luke- okay (Jess taps Luke on the shoulder and pushes a napkin towards him
It says "tell her I am going to send a letter, and ask her for her email
address") Oh by the way could I get your email address?
Rory- did Jess ask you for it?
Luke- yeah, I hope that's okay cause I don't have to get it
Rory- no it's okay, I'll give it to you and you could tell him to email me
letters because for the next few weeks I am going to be very busy, school
is almost over then I am coming home
Luke- cool let me just grab a paper and pen (Jess hands Luke his agenda and
a pen) okay
Rory- I have two, but I mostly use this one dodgers_gal19@hotmail.com and
rorygilmore@yale.com
Luke- thanks a lot Rory; Jess wants to know if he could send you a letter?
Rory- really, yes he can...I'll see you when I return to Stars Hollow, sooner
or later
Luke- okay, see you
Rory- Bye Luke
Luke- Bye Rory
Luke hangs up the phone and Jess is staring at the email addresses and he
is smiling he gets up and Runs to his computer and he starts his MSN and
adds her on to his list, he then logs off and goes back in to the kitchen
Luke- was that fun?
Jess- more than you know
Luke- I know
Jess- no you don't
Luke- yes I do
Jess- whatever
Luke- don't make me kick your ass
Jess- in my own house, how very unlikely
Luke- do you want coffee and dessert?
Jess- I have no dessert
Luke- I do it's in the car
Jess- what did you bring?
Luke- Apple Crisp
Jess- how weird is it that I happen to have Vanilla Ice Cream
Luke- it isn't you drink milkshakes all the time
Jess- I sometimes wish you didn't know me so well
Luke- aren't you out of luck, cause I know you better than you know
yourself
Jess- you sound like Liz
Luke- but she was lying I am not
Jess- true
Luke- I will help you with the dishes
Jess- all there is are the plates and utensils from our meal, I already
washed the pots
Luke- I'll heat up the apple pie
Jess- okay
Luke and Jess both finish their tasks, they grab their coffee and apple
crisp and go sit in the living room and watch the hockey game, after it is
over the NYIslanders lost Against The Toronto Maple Leafs 6 – 2. Luke and
Jess are both disappointed and Luke leaves and heads to the diner before
Caesar was suppose to close it in 30 minutes. Jess goes on to the computer
and starts writing Rory a letter.
Dear Rory,
I am almost guaranteed that Luke told you, that I have been enrolled into
High School and I am enjoying it my classes are going great and I actually
feel like there is order and sanity in my life. I hope your not working to
hard and stressing because then maybe you'll run away just to get away from
it and I don't think that the adults would like that very much. So I have
my own apartment and I have my car and I am driving to school, I am not
working but I have money from Jimmy and Liz, and from Wal-Mart left over
and Luke is helping me out as much as he can, I am glad that he is helping
me get my life on track again. I wish you could come back to me, but like I
think it's still too soon. So how are your classes, when are you done your
first year at Yale? I am going to be done around next year because I came
in to the year later then I should have but Uncle Luke understands and is
okay with that, so am I. I am glad that we could talk and I am glad that I
got your email addresses, I don't know if you know mine but its
simple_guy19@hotmail.com I added you to MSN, we could talk like that if you
want to talk to me, that is. I need you to know that I Love You a lot and I
can't wait for us to be together again.
Love You Always & Forever
Jess
Jess sent the email and he logged off the Internet, he went in to the
living room and watched "Welcome To Collingwood" and "The Usual Suspects"
and then he went to bed around 1130.

This is just a look at what life is like with Jess living on his own, I
hope you enjoy this chapter and I hope my spelling is better on things, and
I noticed that I sometime miss words when I am writing and I usually don't
realize it till it's too late, just at times my brain goes faster than my
fingers...sorry
